Around 9:45 p.m., police were called to a reported stabbing
on the 400 block of Crenshaw Street. The injured man, identified by police as Kevin
Lee Hall, was transported by a private vehicle to the University of South Alabama
Medical Center for treatment before authorities arrived.

He sustained a single life-threatening stab wound during an
argument with Leevaughn Pettway Jr., 23, said MPD spokeswoman Ashley Rains. He later died of his wound.

Rains said Hall and Pettway started arguing over property
damage, although she could not immediately say whose property was allegedly
damaged.

Pettway is facing one count of manslaughter in the stabbing,
a felony with a maximum sentence of 20 years. He was booked into Mobile County
Metro Jail around 3:45 a.m. Thursday.

The argument took place outside a home on Crenshaw Street,
Rains said. Other people were at the home during the confrontation but police
believe Pettway was the only one involved in the fatal stabbing.

"The case is cleared with this arrest," Rains
said.

Booking records show Pettway has previously faced
traffic-related charges in Mobile County, although he does not appear to have
any previous criminal arrests.

He remains in Mobile County Metro Jail as of 9:30 a.m.

Detectives are still investigating Hall's death. Anyone with information can contact MPD at 251-208-7211.
